Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of forest and grassland fire prevention, and particularly relates to a method for opening a fire prevention isolation belt based on digital twinning and neural networks. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the global scope, forest and grassland fires occur frequently, posing a serious threat to the ecological system, economic development and human life and property safety. The traditional method of opening a fire prevention isolation belt has many defects that are difficult to overcome when faced with complex and variable forest and grassland environments.
[0003] In terms of data collection and processing, the traditional method mainly relies on manual field measurement and simple remote sensing monitoring. Manual measurement is not only inefficient and limited in coverage, but also easily affected by terrain and weather conditions, making it difficult to obtain real-time and comprehensive data. Early remote sensing technology has low resolution and cannot accurately identify the subtle features of vegetation types, density and topography, resulting in a lack of accurate data support for subsequent fire prevention isolation belt planning. In terms of data processing, the traditional method is difficult to effectively integrate and analyze a large amount of multi-source data, and cannot fully tap the potential information behind the data, making it difficult to accurately assess fire risk.
[0004] In terms of fire risk assessment, the traditional method often only considers a single or a few factors, such as vegetation type and distribution, ignoring the comprehensive influence of factors such as terrain, weather and human activities. The lack of a scientific and systematic evaluation index system makes the judgment of fire risk not accurate and comprehensive. Moreover, the traditional evaluation method is mostly based on experience and simple mathematical models, which cannot adapt to the dynamic changes of forest and grassland environments, making it difficult to accurately predict the possibility and spread trend of fire in advance, and thus unable to provide scientific basis for the planning of fire prevention isolation belts.
[0005] In the planning of isolation belts, the traditional method usually relies on experience for layout, without fully considering the spread law of fire and the risk differences of different regions. The width, length and position of the isolation belt lack scientific demonstration, resulting in some isolation belts being unable to effectively prevent the spread of fire when a fire occurs, or causing resource waste due to excessive and wide setting. In addition, the traditional planning method does not fully utilize modern information technology, making it difficult to simulate and optimize different planning schemes, and unable to adjust the planning strategy in a timely manner according to the actual situation.
[0006] During the construction process, the traditional ground-air collaborative operation mode has serious shortcomings. There is a lack of efficient communication and collaboration mechanism between ground construction equipment and air operation forces, and information transmission is not smooth, resulting in low operation efficiency. For example, when a helicopter hoists equipment and materials, it may be delayed or placed in an inaccurate position due to improper coordination with ground construction equipment, affecting the opening progress of the fireproof isolation belt. Moreover, the traditional construction method is difficult to monitor the construction progress and quality in real time, and cannot timely discover and correct the deviation in the construction process, which easily leads to uneven quality of the isolation belt and affects the fireproof effect.
[0007] With global warming and the expansion of human activities, the frequency and severity of forest and grassland fires are increasing. Extreme weather events such as high temperature, drought and strong wind increase, making forest and grassland vegetation drier and more flammable, significantly increasing fire risk. At the same time, human development activities around the forest and grassland are becoming more frequent, increasing the potential risk points of fire occurrence. Under such background, the traditional method of setting up fireproof isolation belt cannot meet the growing demand of forest fire prevention, and an innovative method integrating advanced technology is urgently needed to improve the forest fire prevention ability and reduce the loss caused by fire.

[0135] The consistency ratio CR is expressed as
[0136]
[0137] When CR < 1, the judgment matrix is considered to have acceptable consistency, otherwise it needs to be adjusted.
[0138] In step S3, the neural network is used in combination with the Rothermel model to evaluate the risk, including the following steps:
[0139] The neural network model is used for fire risk assessment, and the evaluation indexes are used as the input of the neural network. The neural network is trained by a large amount of historical fire data and corresponding evaluation index data;
[0140] The Rothermel model is used to describe the surface fire spread speed, and the formula is as follows:
[0141]
[0142] R is the fire spread speed (m / min);
[0143] I g is the potential energy release rate per unit area (kW / m 2 ), and the calculation formula is H c is the heat value of fuel (kJ / kg), M is the fuel load (kg / m 2 ), ρ b is the bulk density of fuel (kg / m 3 ), φ is the proportion of effective combustion, t d is the combustion duration (min);
[0144] ε is the energy propagation efficiency factor, which is related to fuel type and terrain factors; ω is the wind-assisted combustion factor, which is a function of wind speed, and is expressed as ω = 1 + a·V, where V is the wind speed and a is a coefficient related to fuel and terrain; is the environmental resistance factor, which reflects the hindering effect of terrain and slope on fire spread; by inputting different vegetation, meteorological and terrain parameters into the model, the fire spread speed and direction are predicted, providing a reference for fire risk assessment.
[0145] The fire risk is divided into three levels: low, medium and high. According to the output results of the neural network model, the threshold value h is set to divide the risk levels, and the value range of the threshold value h is set between 0-1, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0146] Collect forest and grassland fire case data under different regions, different seasons and different climate conditions, as well as various environmental parameter data within a period of time before the fire occurs;
[0147] Determine the environmental factors that have a greater impact on fire risk through correlation analysis, and then use cluster analysis to preliminarily divide the fire risk level interval;
[0148] Organize experts in the field of forest fire prevention to evaluate and discuss the analysis results, and comprehensively consider the actual application requirements and risk prevention and control targets to determine the threshold value h suitable for the region;
[0149] Take the threshold value h as a lower threshold value h1 and a higher threshold value h2;
[0150] When the output risk value of the neural network model is less than h1, the region is determined to be at a low risk level;
[0151] When the output risk value of the neural network model is between h1 and h2, the region is divided into a medium risk level;
[0152] When the risk value output by the neural network model is greater than h2, the region is identified as a high-risk area.
[0153] In step S4, the isolation zone planning includes planning principles, a planning method based on optimization algorithms, and the presentation and analysis of planning results, wherein:
[0154] Planning Principles: Adhering to the principles of "fire prevention, fire control, and ease of establishment." Firebreaks should be established in locations that effectively prevent the spread of fire, such as along ridgelines, rivers, roads, and other natural or artificial barriers. Construction convenience should also be considered, selecting areas with flat terrain and relatively sparse vegetation. Digital twin model information should be used to comprehensively consider factors such as fire risk level, topography, and vegetation distribution. Firebreaks should be prioritized and established in high-risk areas, with appropriately increased width and density.
[0155] Planning methods based on optimization algorithms:
[0156] A genetic algorithm (GA) is used for segregation zone planning. The location, length, width, and other parameters of the segregation zone are encoded into chromosomes.
[0157] The fitness function is defined to evaluate the quality of a planning scheme. Its fitness function is:
[0158]
[0159] Fitness represents the fitness value; the higher the value, the better the corresponding buffer zone planning scheme. α and β are weighting coefficients. blocked The larger the value of the firebreak simulated by the digital twin model, the more significant the firebreak's effect in stopping the fire; A total The fire could spread over the total area without firebreaks, reflecting the relative effectiveness of firebreaks in preventing the spread of fire; C is the total cost of setting up firebreaks. The lower the C value, the more beneficial it is to improving the fitness value.
[0160] The chromosome is iteratively optimized through genetic operations of selection, crossover, and mutation. The chromosome code corresponds to the planning parameters of the isolation band, and the genes in the chromosome represent the position, length, and width information of the isolation band.
[0161] Assume the parent chromosome P1 = [a1, a2, ..., a n ] and P2 = [b1,b2,…,b n ], where a i and b i , i = 1, 2, ..., n, are specific parameter values related to the planning of the isolation zone;
[0162] Randomly select a crossover point k, 1 < k < n, then the two offspring chromosomes C1 and C2 generated after crossover are:
[0163] C1 = [a1, a2, …, a k ,b k+1 ,b k+2 ,…,b n ];
[0164] C2 = [b1, b2, …, b k ,a k+1 ,a k+2 ,…,a n ];
[0165] Mutation operation can introduce new genetic characteristics. For genes representing the width of the isolation belt, if binary encoding is used, the corresponding encoding in the chromosome is "0010", which represents an isolation belt width of 8 meters (assuming that each binary encoding corresponds to a width change of 2 meters). In actual fire simulation scenarios, an 8-meter-wide isolation belt may not be sufficient in high wind and flammable vegetation conditions, as part of the fire may break through the isolation belt, indicating that the width setting is conservative. In the mutation operation, if the third "1" becomes "0", the encoding becomes "0000", corresponding to an isolation belt width of 0 meters, which does not meet the actual requirements and has a low fitness value. If the fourth "0" becomes "1", the encoding becomes "0011", corresponding to an isolation belt width of 10 meters. After re-simulation, a 10-meter-wide isolation belt successfully blocks the spread of fire, with a small increase in construction cost, far lower than the loss of fire out of control, and the fitness value is significantly improved, exploring a more suitable width.
[0166] If real number encoding is used, assume the original isolation belt width gene value is 10 meters, and set the mutation range to be 20% up and down from the original value. In the mutation operation, a mutation coefficient between -0.2 and 0.2 is randomly generated, and suppose the generated mutation coefficient is 0.15, then the mutated isolation belt width gene value is 10 × (1 + 0.15) = 11.5 meters.
[0167] Substitute this new width value into the isolation belt planning scheme and simulate the fire scenario using the digital twin model. The results show that an 11.5-meter-wide isolation belt not only effectively blocks the fire, but also has a smaller increase in construction cost compared to a 10-meter-wide isolation belt, further improving the fire-blocking effect. After calculating the fitness function, it is found that the fitness value of the mutated scheme is higher than that of the original scheme, verifying that through mutation operation under real number encoding, a more optimal isolation belt width parameter is successfully found, achieving effective fire blocking and reasonable cost control, and improving the overall optimization effect of the planning scheme.
[0168] Planning result display and analysis:
[0169] The optimized isolation belt planning scheme is visualized in the digital twin model, which intuitively presents the position, direction, width, and other information of the isolation belt. Different levels of isolation belts are distinguished by different colors or line styles.
[0170] The digital twin model is used to simulate and analyze the planning scheme, and to evaluate the fire-blocking effect of the isolation belt under different fire scenarios. For example, under different wind speed and direction conditions, the spread of fire with and without isolation belts is simulated, and the inhibitory effect of the isolation belt on fire spread is compared and analyzed. Based on the simulation analysis results, the planning scheme is further optimized and adjusted.
[0171] In step S5, the ground-air cooperative operation is as follows:
[0172] The unmanned aerial vehicle guides the ground construction equipment:
[0173] The unmanned aerial vehicle flies above the planned isolation belt area, takes real-time images and transmits them back to the ground station. Image processing algorithms are used to identify ground terrain features and obstacles, and to plan a safe and efficient driving path for the ground construction equipment.
[0174] The ground construction equipment receives the path information transmitted by the unmanned aerial vehicle and drives according to the path through an automatic driving system or an operator. The unmanned aerial vehicle continuously monitors the construction progress and quality, and timely detects and corrects construction deviations.
[0175] Helicopter hoisting equipment and materials:
[0176] In areas with complex terrain where ground construction equipment cannot reach, the helicopter hoists small construction equipment to the designated location, and also hoists fire-fighting materials to the vicinity of the fire site.
[0177] During the helicopter hoisting process, real-time communication is carried out with the ground station to receive flight instructions and safety prompts. The ground station plans a safe flight route for the helicopter based on the digital twin model terrain information and weather data, avoiding obstacles and adverse weather areas.
[0178] Real-time monitoring and adjustment:
[0179] The ground sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring, and helicopter-mounted equipment are used to monitor the progress and quality of the fire prevention isolation belt in real time.
[0180] Based on the real-time monitoring results, the operation scheme is adjusted. If the construction progress is lagging, additional construction equipment or adjusted construction process is added; if the quality of the isolation belt does not meet the standards, timely rework is performed.
[0181] During real-time monitoring, the running state of the equipment also needs to be paid attention to. By installing sensors on the construction equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters, etc., data such as vibration, temperature, and oil consumption of the equipment are collected, and a machine learning algorithm is used to establish a device fault prediction model. Once abnormal signs are found in the equipment, maintenance is arranged in advance to avoid equipment failure during operation and affect the opening progress of the firebreak.
[0182] At the same time, considering the dynamic changes of forest and grassland environment, every certain time period, the latest geographic information data, meteorological data and fire monitoring data are used to re-run the fire risk assessment model and the isolation belt planning algorithm, and the existing isolation belt is adjusted and improved according to the evaluation results, such as widening the isolation belt with insufficient width, and re-planning and opening the isolation belt with unreasonable position.
[0183] In step S6, the effect evaluation and feedback are as follows:
[0184] Evaluation index:
[0185] The fire resistance effect of the isolation belt is measured by the success rate of the isolation belt in stopping the spread of fire when the fire occurs. Success rate = number of times of successfully stopping the spread of fire / total number of simulations x 100%. At the same time, the average fire resistance time of the isolation belt under different fire scenarios can also be evaluated, that is, the average length of time from the occurrence of the fire to the complete prevention of the fire by the isolation belt.
[0186] Efficiency of opening, calculate the length or area of the isolation belt opened per unit time. In addition, considering the use efficiency of the equipment, the proportion of actual operation time to total operation time of the construction equipment can also be calculated to evaluate the utilization efficiency of equipment resources. If the proportion is low, it means that there is a problem of equipment idling or too long waiting time in the construction process, which needs to be further optimized.
[0187] Cost-benefit, compare the cost of opening the isolation belt with the fire loss (including forest resource loss, ecological environment damage loss, fire extinguishing cost, etc.) reduced due to the opening of the isolation belt, and evaluate the cost-benefit ratio. For forest resource loss, it can be estimated according to different tree species, forest age and area, combined with market timber price and ecological service value evaluation method; the ecological environment damage loss considers the long-term impact of fire on soil, water, biodiversity, etc., and is quantified through an ecological economics model.
[0188] Evaluation method:
[0189] Use the digital twin model to simulate multiple fires, and evaluate the fire resistance effect of the isolation belt under different fire scenarios. Each simulation records the path, speed of fire spread and isolation belt blocking in detail, and the success rate of fire resistance and average fire resistance time of the isolation belt are obtained through statistical analysis of a large amount of simulation data.
[0190] Record the construction time, equipment usage and other data during the actual construction process to calculate the opening efficiency. Through the GPS positioning system and the working state monitoring equipment installed on the construction equipment, the working track, working time and working amount of each stage of the equipment are recorded in real time, so that the length or area of the isolation belt opened in unit time and the equipment usage efficiency are accurately calculated.
[0191] By counting the loss data after the fire occurs, combined with the isolation belt opening cost data, the cost benefit ratio is calculated. Cooperate with the forestry department, ecological environment monitoring agency and the like to obtain the damaged evaluation report of the forest resources and ecological environment after the fire, and meanwhile, the cost expenditure details in the construction process are sorted out to conduct comprehensive cost benefit analysis.
[0192] Feedback and optimization:
[0193] According to the effect evaluation result, the problems existing in the system are fed back. If the fire blocking effect of the isolation belt is not ideal, the reasons are analyzed and the planning and construction links are optimized according to the problems.
[0194] If the opening efficiency is low, whether there is optimization space in the construction process, whether the construction equipment needs to be replaced and the like are analyzed.
[0195] If the cost benefit ratio is not high, the measures for reducing the cost or improving the benefit are researched.
[0196] Therefore, the fire isolation belt opening method based on digital twinning and neural network is adopted to solve the problems of inaccurate data, unscientific planning and low coordination efficiency existing in the traditional fire isolation belt opening method, realize the accurate prevention and control of the forest and grassland fire, improve the efficiency and quality of the fire isolation belt opening, and reduce the loss caused by the fire.
[0197] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit it, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can still be modified or replaced by the equivalent, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
